You Didn't Sell Tickets?

Sami pays Rafe a visit in his hospital room while he dreams of her. She muses how Kate must have 'roofied' him into bed and gabs about wanting him to give Johnny the FBI jacket. He wakes up and looks panicked as Sami stammers about Gabi coming to see him with Arianna. She's grateful to see his eyes and is thankful she had that gun. Rafe's monitors go crazy. Outside, Cameron tells Gabi and Kate that Rafe's vivid dreams will end once the drugs from the coma exit his system. Everyone rushes in when they hear the monitors and Sami's given the boot. Sami is confused. She didn't say anything wrong. Gabi realizes Sami told him he'd see Arianna and they all assume Rafe thought he was going to see his dead sister. Sami's apologetic. Kate and Gabi gang up on her for doing what she wants and ignoring the consequences. Cameron orders Sami to stay away from Rafe or security will remove her.

Chad arrives at the DiMera home to find movers removing Stefano's portrait. EJ fills Chad in on his takeover of DiMera Enterprises and the mansion. Chad's in shock. "You didn't sell tickets?" How did EJ do it? EJ jokingly offers a blueprint. "You got that sick SOB where he lives, literally!" EJ assumes Sami will be happy with the news once she finds out. Chad can't believe he didn't tell her yet, but smiles about EJ taking their father out. They drink champagne and EJ talks about plans to make the mansion more like home. Will Chad move in? Chad grins but needs to consider it. He gets up, a little unsteady and leaves. EJ gets the movers to replace the portrait.

Nicole drops by Brady's for his donation for the school. She hands over his mail. He received word from the adoption agency looking for confirmation about the adoption. Nicole offers to call and decline but he won't let her. She thinks this means he's considering reuniting with Kristen. He's not and can't put into words why he can't make the call himself. He knows Kristen loved him. Nicole doesn't want him buying in to Kristen's lies. Brady likes the idea of having kids. Nicole frowns. He's sorry for bringing up a touchy subject. Has she thought of adoption? She's not sure she's meant to be a parent. Brady hugs her. She'd be a good one.

Maggie stops by the rectory where Eric gives her the tickets for the dedication to the new school. She applauds his accomplishments and heard he was ill. Eric downplays his illness, saying Daniel's taking good care of him. Maggie beams. Eric asks Maggie to ensure Victor behaves because Nicole will be at the dedication. Maggie finds it sweet Eric's looking out for Nicole. She'll always be his first love. Eric comments that she looks out for him and saved his life.

Kristen yells at Dr. Chyka and pushes him around in the park after learning Daniel's calling in a specialist to find out what's going on with Eric. Chyka wants to look at the test results. Kristen makes plans to visit Daniel and asks Chyka to wait for her call.

At home, Daniel makes a call to someone at the lab, telling them to put a rush on Eric's toxicology screen, claiming he knows why Eric's sick. Kristen arrives under the guise of helping him get back together with Jennifer. She stares at Eric's file and opens up about loving and losing Brady and how there's no going back. Daniel tells her to visit Jenn if she wants to help, and goes to see what Parker wants while Kristen takes photos of Eric's file. Dan catches her.

Chad arrives at the hospital and tells Kate Stefano is home but EJ took over the company. Kate's amused. He visits Cameron, who wants to run x-rays on Chad because of his nasty fall on the 4th. Chad shrugs him off and wants to talk personally.

Sami returns home in a mood, yelling about 'stupid Gabi' and the doctors kicking her out of Rafe's room. EJ kisses her and shows her a portrait of the two of them replacing Stefano's. He tells her about the takeover and she's flabbergasted, then pissed he kept it from her for five months.

Once Nicole is gone, Maggie returns home. Brady asks if he could be addicted to love and breaking up. He can't let go of Kristen! She gives him advice and reminds him to take things one day at a time. He shreds the adoption papers.

Nicole returns to the rectory, upset to hear Eric had a relapse. She leaves and Eric flashes to seeing 'Miss Taylor' in the capital.

LOL.. I have NO idea LGM.. ha (caroline's name) I just know she would have their respect though if she let them know.. I think all the children are suppose to be at some day camp or something, right?? Jennifer needs to put out a memo herself. Warning all these parents of the results of putting themselves first during the time of bringing up their children. JMO.

@zuz it just seems logical because everyone is talking about this big dedication for the school and everyone is invited. So all the people that loves Eric will be there and probably a couple of Bishop for the church. What better way to do it and get back at Marlena. JMO.

LGM.. What did you like best about today?? I'm thinking!! haha

I was happy about NOT having to endure JJ & JT. lol Now If we could get rid of Kristen for good. Ready for Y&R to take her back over to them. Gabi had better be careful about getting too chummy with Kate.

LGM.. Yes that makes sense! Never even thought about that.. Your right.. She could even see the expression on everyone's face. What bothers me is that they are also mentioning Nicole in conversation.. Do you think she'll make it look like Nicole in the video??

Zuz I like the part where EJ and Chad were toasting Stefano portrait, but like you, EJ should have put up a family portrait.

OT I haven't cooked biscuits in FOREVER, and I burned them talking here. hahaha I even had my timer on. I was also boiling some New/red potatoes and in the back of my mind, I was thinking about the potatoes.. Thinking.. "Oh well, it's not going to hurt them to simmer a few more minutes. Littleguysmom has just posted and I want to talk to her." lololol

Zuz hasn't Nicole had her hair cut now for the last couple months and Kristen has that long curly hair. I hope she don't try to make everyone believe it's Nicole.

Yes LGM.. That was hilarious.. Looked like Chad was about to crack up laughing. Like the day Sami ran into the door. Then, when those 2 guys gave that slight nod, I started laughing like crazy. It looked like they were about to lower the casket and start putting the dirt in his grave.. hahaha Well.. That's what I thought about anyway..
